Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigative works was carried out for Zander Planning Ltd, on behalf of their client Henry Boot Developments Ltd in support of a proposed retail park development in Livingston, West Lothian. (0673/FUL/15). The archaeological works were designed to determine the archaeological potential of the development area and hence inform the specification for mitigation of the impact on the archaeological remains within the development area. The archaeological investigative works consisted of an intrusive evaluation which was designed to assess an 8% sample of the proposed development area. The works were carried out between 29th February and the 2nd March 2016, with a total of 11 trenches excavated. The works identified only 19th century agricultural features or modern service trenches. A small number of artefacts recovered from the site were of late medieval or post medieval date but were found alongside modern pottery and within modern layers of deposition. |
